Well-written article about sexism, violence, and bigotry

This woman sees things quite clearly and writes well, and IMHO, this article can apply to all of human society, not just her country.

Thanks for the article. I would definitely agree that this is world wide problem.

Quote:
People hate along a continuum. "Sticks and stones may break my bones but words can never harm me" is all but a nursery-rhyme lie. It is the attitudes, beliefs and words that provide the impetus for the sticks and stones. For hatred that is acted out in turn establishes and reestablishes particular forms of social power, through the means of abuse and violence.


Yeah.   Sad

I always enjoy it when people point out the blindingly obvious: "actually, your laws are helping, so get off your damn high horse and DO something!"

Nowhere, of course, minit. I was just saying that if one were to paraphrase the article, and to replace the solemnity with snark, one would come up with the synopsis of the piece I described.
